Jia Hu of the Red Chamber

Wang Xifeng and the Qin family are both juniors in front of Mrs. Shi and Mrs. Wang Xing. Naturally, Mrs. Shi just sits with the two daughters-in-law in peace, but the sister-in-law of Zhou Jie's generation wants to greet them in person.

Not in a hurry to argue with the second wife, Mrs. Wang, Zhou Jie got up and stood up, apologizing, and led Liu Xia and Mrs. Li to welcome her out. The gentle smile on her face made Wang Xifeng, who was originally quite sharp, calm down.

"I heard that Yuan Ke is here, so I was thinking about bringing Brother Rong's daughter-in-law to join in the fun, so I hurried over. Grandma Hu will watch her relatives, and give us girls a bowl of tea."

The Weiyu people laughed first, although Wang Xifeng didn't have much joy in his eyes, his laughter was very hearty, and his words were witty, making Liuxia and Li's lips purse for joy.

Zhou Jie also smiled, but she was still very vigilant in her heart.

Not to mention Wang Xifeng's ill-fated marriage, just because their respective husbands and natal families chose different masters before they ascended the throne today, this grandma Zhen should not be close friends.

Not to mention that although Wang Xifeng didn't embarrass the elder brother after entering the door, he didn't see much kindness.

As for the gathering of the female family members of Ningrong and Rongfu to talk and joke together, it is obviously just a random walk among relatives, but Wang Xifeng always comes here with jewels and emeralds on her head every time, as if she must compare others to be able to rest, it is the end of the day .

She took a few steps forward and hugged Wang Xifeng affectionately. Zhou Jie looked back with a slight smile, her unpainted face was extremely calm: "You really are a rascal, thinking about our good tea but you can't even give a gift. Enjoy the tea? A feather duster is the right thing to do."

Zhou Jie was able to hold back herself, and spoke in a serious manner, but Liu Xia and the others couldn't hold back their laughter. Even Xiaorong's grandma, Qin Shi, stood behind her mother-in-law and secretly touched her lips with a handkerchief.

Wang Xifeng raised her eyebrows and smiled, as if she was going to be blessed, Zhou Jie hurriedly gave her a hand, and everyone rushed in affectionately.

Leading his daughter-in-law, Mrs. Qin, to greet Mrs. Shi and Mrs. Wang Xing, Wang Xifeng's pair of red and phoenix triangular eyes fell on Daiyu sister and brother, and they couldn't stop looking at each other after seeing each other.

Having experienced the death of her mother Jia Min and being forced to take her younger brother away from her father to Beijing, Daiyu's temperament is far from that of an ordinary seven-year-old child. In addition, she was intelligent since she was a child, so she naturally felt that there seemed to be deep meaning in Wang Xifeng's beautiful smiling eyes. Don't talk about it, just sit upright with the grace of the eldest daughter of the official family.

Changsheng remembered his father's teachings and let others speak and act. He just stood still, and there was no trace of embarrassment on his thin and thin face. If he insisted on criticizing, he could only say that Changsheng was too serious at such a young age.

After looking at it for a while, Wang Xifeng couldn't help but nodded in her heart, secretly thinking that this Lin family is really extraordinary, the children are well-bred, it is worthwhile for her to spend a lot of time making friends, and hurriedly ordered the eldest girl Xi'er to take the prepared gift to meet Daiyu sister Brother, I hugged the two of them for a long time and caressed them, I couldn't love them enough.

Mrs. Shi laughed and said: "It's amazing, this is not a sister-in-law, but a kidnapper came in! She didn't let go of our young master and girl, and beat her out quickly."

When Wang Xifeng heard this, he simply hugged him even tighter, and his laughter became louder and louder: "Since that's the case, I'm rewarded. If I can get such a good child, I will surely pay off my wish by kneeling to the Buddha three times a day."

Mrs. Shi smiled more and more lovingly, but she didn't answer. It was Zhou Jie, the grandma who was in charge, who answered: "It's really a rascal, but if you see something good, you have to call the house. I hide it very well. Now You have seen enough of our family from the girl to the cousin girl, where is your Miss Lin? Why didn't you bring any kisses?"

As she said that, Zhou Jie gently scraped her cheeks with her fingers, which made everyone laugh again.

Jia Lin was young and lonely, she didn't like to ask about housework and she didn't like to walk around. She would play in her own yard day and night, so she got along very well with Wang Xifeng, the sister-in-law.

In addition, Wang Xifeng wanted to show off her virtuousness, and she was very kind to this intelligent and polite little sister-in-law. Everyone in the Ning family knew that in front of the eldest grandma, the uncle could not compare to the dignity of the eldest girl.

But when Jia Lin was mentioned today, Wang Xifeng's face was cold for a moment. If Zhou Jie hadn't been focusing on Wang Xifeng all the time, she wouldn't have noticed it at all.

"Lin'er was caught cold by the wind a few nights ago, and now she is resting. When she gets better, I will take her out to play with my sisters."

Wang Xifeng's care and worry for her sister-in-law were palpable. When Mrs. Shi and others heard that Jia Lin was ill, they also asked about it. It was nothing more than which imperial physician they invited and what words they used.

Zhou Jie watched for a while, but she didn't feel that Wang Xifeng was dissatisfied with Jia Lin. On the contrary, Grandma Xiao Rong, who had always been close to Wang Xifeng as a sister, seemed to have separated from her mother-in-law.

Speaking of asking for a doctor to prolong the medicine, the words inevitably went back to the Daiyu sisters and brothers. In order to show her kindness, Mrs. Shi repeatedly asked Zhou Jie not to be short-handed about Dr. Zhang. When Zhou Jie agreed, she asked again. The courtyard is paved.

This matter was arranged by Liu Xia with the help of her eldest sister-in-law Zhou Jie, so it was Liu Xia who answered the question.

"Back to the old lady, Cousin Lin's yard was arranged by the second wife early in the morning. My sister-in-law and I thought that when my cousin was growing up, and I grew up in the south of the Yangtze River, I am afraid that I am not used to the water and soil in central Beijing. So I guessed and cut some clothes for my body, and saved some thick fabrics for later use."

The grandson and daughter-in-law treasured her grandson and granddaughter, and Mrs. Shi was naturally happy, praising Zhou Jie and Liu Xia again and again.The two hurriedly said that they didn't dare to take it seriously, and Zhou Jie even smiled and humbled herself: "Cousin Lin, cousin Lin, who came to stay at my mother's house for a short time, is a distinguished guest, but also an old lady who is here to entertain and fulfill filial piety, how can I treat you poorly? It’s all about treating each other with courtesy. If the old lady praises me more, we will have no place to stand.”

As soon as these words came out, the already faint smile on the face of the second wife froze.

Mrs. Shi listened with a smile, maybe she felt that the heat was about to come, so she sent word to the Lin family's maid, who was accompanying Daiyu's sister and brother to Beijing, to come in and ask questions.

Daiyu and Changsheng are two, one is the eldest daughter of the Lin family, the other is the eldest son of the Lin family, and Changsheng is the only seedling of the four generations of the Lin family. There are dozens of servants around him. There are nine big girls and nuns, and two other young servants who accompany Changsheng to study and play.

Mrs. Shi asked carefully for a while, and sighed that the Lin family really had strict family rules, and rewarded the accompanying servants generously, and pointed to the two second-class girls beside her, a parrot and a thrush for their siblings. handle.

Once the arrangements were made properly, Mrs. Shi felt sorry for her grandchildren and granddaughters who were tired of traveling and traveling, so she ordered Mrs. Xing Wang to take them to meet Jia Amnesty and Jia Zheng, so that they could go back to her yard to rest early, and then come to the room for dinner at night. .

Unexpectedly, the eldest wife Xing blushed immediately, faltering and refusing to respond, and finally choked out a sentence, saying that Jia She went out to visit friends and has not returned yet.

After Jia Amnesty said, "In order not to be sad, nephews and nieces don't need to come to see us", Xing looked at Mrs. Shi's face and didn't even dare to mention it.

Wang Xifeng's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law in the Ning Mansion are nothing to do with themselves, but the expressions of everyone in the Rong Mansion are really hard to describe.

Zhou Jie, who knew the reason, was not only puzzled by why Jia Hu would lure the old man to commit such a mess, but also lamented that the brother-sister relationship between the old man and his aunt was as thin as paper, and she stood behind her mother-in-law with a trace of shame. .

After all, if it wasn't for Jia Hu's instigation, how could the Xing family have received such a hot matter?Even if he brought someone back, Jia Amnesty was responsible for whether he saw him or not, so he wouldn't be ashamed of eating the old lady's head in front of him.

Liu Xia didn't know why, but her mother-in-law was pleading guilty, so she could only hang her head down to accompany her, and she was also distracted from taking care of her sister-in-law Zhou Jie who was pregnant with twins.

The big house mother-in-law and daughter-in-law are shameless, and the Lin family's children are treated poorly. The combination of these two joys really makes the second wife, Wang, very happy.It's a pity that extreme joy begets sorrow, Mrs. Shi probably wanted to make people think that the second master Jia Zheng is better than the elder master Jia She, so she asked the second master, and directly blocked the Wang family there, which was even more embarrassing than the elder wife Xing's just now. ten points.

——Jia Zheng, who is deeply in love with his younger sister Jia Min, is also called by Wang Shi, who is full of ghosts, to take things out and lead him out of the house. .

It's just that Mrs. Shi would repeat several times a day that Jia Amnesty was useless, so even though the two brothers acted in the same way, it still seemed that the second master was nothing more than that.

Seeing the Lin family siblings, Wang Xifeng was very satisfied after seeing the good show of fighting in the nest, so she got up to say goodbye, saying that there are still chores in the mansion that have not been settled properly, and she took her daughter-in-law Shi Shiran to go.As for how Wang Xifeng would deal with the concerns that Zhou Jie had aroused, that's another story.

Everyone left the house early, and Mrs. Shi had nothing to do, so she suppressed her anger and ordered Xing's Wang Haosheng to send Daiyu and her brother to resettle. Go back to your room and rest.

Daiyu's sister and brother's house was cleaned up by someone sent by the Wang family, so I don't need to go into details about how out of order it is.

It is only said that the second Mrs. Xing Wang and Daiyu sister and brother had just sat down to drink tea, and Zhou Jie, who had already returned to her yard to rest, sent her confidant and nun to carry the things, accompanied by the elders in Xing's room. Girl Nobile.

"Grandma's body has been heavy recently, and her energy is not good. She even forgot the gift that her wife, second grandmother and grandma gave Miss Lin to Uncle Lin. I hope Miss Lin and Uncle Lin will forgive me."

There are three large chicken-wing wooden boxes, each of which needs to be carried by four strong servants. One can imagine what is contained in the boxes. Xing, who seemed to be at ease, felt a wave of blood rushing from his chest to Tianling Gai, and his hands trembled with anger.
